those kinda look like S&N 16" handles but it's russian so it's probably not

Cool copy lathe. Those handles came out very close to finished - just need a little sanding.

Thank you! Spiffy operation! None of what's shown looks to require the involvement of 'rude and crude' belt sanders; whose end products are increasingly mainstay of the more primitive circular saw lathe set ups that 'chew' or 'gnaw' up wood into a cursory handle shapes for the aftermarket in north America.

That is interesting, thx for the post. Looks like the type of cutter head on that machine I'm used to seeing on a jointer or planer.

^ Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Never seen a copy lathe like that, very cool. Seems like it could be catastrophic with some kinds of grain but when you make three at a time it's probably a non-issue.
